38,608 makes the Sask game the biggest regular season crowd since 1994. There was a crowd in 1993 I believe that was over 40,000.

A regular season game vs. Sask. here in 2005 drew 38,000 but this beats it.

I was actually looking forward to Printers coming back for his first game at BC Place and hoping for a big draw. The way he's playing, Richie Williams will draw more fans.

Yes you're right, that 2005 game vs. Saskatchewan drew 38,847, and the Western Final vs. Edmonton two weeks later drew less than that, 37,000.

Goes to show you that this city will show up for a game vs. Saskatchewan, but if it's a Western Final vs. anyone other than Saskatchewan, Vancouver doesn't exactly wet it's pants over it

Money was being spent for the GC in 2005, there was no need to go and see the warmup act.
Entertainment value = an all time low

That's because the remaining 1,847 were stuck in traffic... or they were counting watermelon rinds separately for the Sask game. :wink:
